Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 13, 2021

There’s certainly a difference between the One-Finger Salute and The Look & The Point.

Isn’t that the talon?

A bird in the hand is worth applause-ing for in these parts. Now a tadpole in hand is worth something entirely different; but that a story for another day.

Know your digits…

I think one of the only universal hand gestures understood throughout the world, and probably due to American influence, is flipping someone the bird. Please walk the bird with care. Nobody likes a bushwacker; unless it’s from the Virgin Islands…

…Or, maybe it’s not American influence…

Don’t point that thing at me unless you have a point, bird brain.

Is this one of them crypto comics?

B-b-bird’s the word …

but can’t quite put my finger on it … toodles!

He’s proto-notorious.

He should show that finger to a certain group of people who run a certain website about updating things every day.

Never flipped a bird that did not need flipping.

Everybody knows that the bird is a word.

…it’s the wrong finger for the bird…

…but that wouldn’t stop feathers from flying if he gave it to the wrong sort…

…so you must tell the blue bird not to blow it…

…at least that is the old Froglandia highschool expression…

…I go flying so high when I’m stoned…

…Rats and mice will have their choice, And so will I have mine…

Bird, Bird, Bird! Bird is the word! (Very popular around the Detroit area back in the day.)

Sirrah! That, good my bird, is an INDEX finger. not “the finger.” Rookie mistake (to return to the baseball barrel o’ metaphors)….

You said the word, you got the bird.

When the flippin a slippin.

Hot for get a grip with non slip bath mats. Made in USA.

Hmm … a beckoning bird in a sport coat. Interesting.
